mpie: does Sweep not work for you? I haven't spent much time with Audacity...just assumed it was basically the same kind of application as Sweep.

In the meantime, since it's raining and I have to stay inside in front of my puter (poor me...), I'll see if I can get Audacity running as a .dsl

BTW, ke4nt1: Did you ever get that fluxbox-dev extension? I know you're getting flooded these days, but I'm just curious whether Postfix may have burped.

Sweep is awesome.... works great for me..

I love audio apps, it's my career choice and field of interest..

The audacity.dsl would be good to add to the repository..

...Hmm...wondering if there is a way to extract the "alsa" sound package
from the 09/2003 Knoppix CD without recompiling the DSL kernel..

I am continuing to review the fluxbox 0.9.9 .dsl..

I have to weigh the install of the .dsl against possibly interfering
with the base install.. especially for new users..

Most .dsl contribs are simply add-ons, additions to the base DSL .iso..
Some others actually match, and sometimes overwrite and upgrade/downgrade
packages within the base filesystem..

This one being a "fluxbox" .dsl , I'm giving it a little more TLC than usual..

...and while we are not getting too "flooded" with extensions,

there has been a steady release of new titles the last 10-15 days..

Thanks for the confirmation...I was just getting concerned that maybe you didn't receive the files.

I spent a few minutes with Audacity...only a few minutes. I decided that the configure script is stupid, since it's asking for zip in order to create the help file....but I'd already said "--without-help" and "--with-help=no" to fix this....it just won't listen. Why it wants to use zip on a linux system to begin with is a mystery...so I'm going to ignore this for now. Perhaps a fresh approach after some sleep will be better.

I mainly wish I better understood the options in these configure scripts....most of the time I'm just guessing about what they want.
